The Global Water Challenge started in 2003 as an exciting competition for middle school student teams. Teams investigate a social, economic, environmental, or health-related water issue locally, and in a developing county, and prepare an innovative solution to that specific problem in the form of an interesting, creative, and informative presentation. They need volunteers that are able to go to the schools and help them prepare and/or come be a judge on Saturday, Dec 10th. The Global Water Challenge is put on by Global Health Connections. Check out this link or email  Holly Davis for more info and to sign up as a volunteer!

The National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship Program is based in Washington D. C. From its inception, the goal of this program has been to increase the number of STEM professionals in the U. S. workforce. This program is a 3 year funding opportunity for students in or near the beginning stages of their overall graduate study and it is meant for students who plan to pursue research-based doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines.

The program provides awarded fellows with:

• 36 month of full tuition and mandatory fee coverage at an accredited U.S. institution
• A $1,000 medical health insurance allowance per each year of the 3 year program
• And $102,000.00 in stipend payments over 3 years

Additionally - if you are eligible and interested, panelist registration for the 2017 NDSEG Digital Application Evaluation is now open at  https://ndseg.asee.org/panelists. This year's evaluation panel will be held digitally throughout the month of January 2017.

Wondering what fellowships exist for EDC students but don't have time to search for them? MCEDC has compiled a list of grant and fellowship opportunities, noting due dates & application requirements. The list of fellowships is on the EDC Google Drive here.

Many MCEDC students have been accepted by the Selected Professions Fellowships. They are awarded to women who intend to pursue degree programs where women's participation traditionally has been low (architecture, computer/information sciences, engineering, mathematics/statistics). The AAUW is the nation's leading voice promoting equity and education for women and girls. Click here for more information.
